The Kind Man

by Lumpen Nobleman

/
1.
You've got nothing left to lose (Just take the money, mate, you'd be doing yourself a favour, come on, pal) And you might as well turn to drink (Honestly, do yourself a favour, take the money) Yeah, it really is as bad as you think (Think of your family, mate, just take the wedge, come on) But if they offer you counselling, refuse (Alright, just head down to Strathies then) But there's nothing there to choose (Put some tunes on the jukey, just relax, alright?) You might as well have a Sprite (Don't worry if they skip a few, don't take it personally) Things just don't feel right (Put 50p on the pool table, wait your turn) As your palette turns to blues (That's you on now, pal) Well, there's nothing left to think (You're not a bad wee player, get a pint down you, settle the nerves) So you're about to turn to booze (No more than three or four, mind, you'll be over-cutting everything) Another car crash in the news (You been reading Ballard again son?) Eyes pegged open so you cannae blink (Burgess as well? Tosser) But, there's everything left to do (You know in an American gangster film, when they take you out to a warehouse?) And I think I'll do just that (Give you a nice cold 7-up and light a cigarette for you in your mouth, brilliant) I think I'll start by killing a cat (That's when you know you're in trouble) Then I'm coming for you (Son, they've just played your whole tune on the jukey, think it's time to go)
